Show overview
Soft Robotics Podcast has been publishing since 2021, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 512 episodes. That works out to roughly 250 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a several-times-a-week cadence.
Episodes typically run ten to twenty minutes — most land between 4 min and 50 min — with run-times ranging widely across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Science show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 1 weeks ago, with 25 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2021, with 187 episodes published.
From the publisher
Hey! I am Marwa ElDiwiny, the host and creator of the Soft Robotics podcast. I started this podcast for a reason, one of them was to ask the questions I always wanted to ask when I was in the lab and reignite my curiosity by talking to interesting people. I found my purpose in this podcast, I hope it may inspire someone somehow along this journey!

The Rosheim Joint: A Hidden Breakthrough in Wrist Design
Mark E. Rosheim is an American roboticist, engineer, author, and founder/president of Ross-Hime Designs, Inc., a mechanical design and robotics company in Minneapolis. He is best known for his work on anthrobotics, the design of robots with human-like limbs, hands, wrists, and manipulation capabilities, a term he helped pioneer. Rosheim holds numerous patents in robot technology and has developed robotic systems for major clients including NASA, the U.S. Department of Defense, and aerospace firms. He has written several influential books on robotics, such as Robot Evolution: The Development of Anthrobotics (a technical and historical survey of robot design) and Leonardo’s Lost Robots (reconstructing Leonardo da Vinci’s automata designs). His work blends mechanical engineering, biomechanics, and historical research to advance understanding of how complex robot mechanisms can emulate human motion. Website: https://www.anthrobot.com/
